Humanitarian Affairs Analyst at the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA)

Posted on Thu 16th May, 2019 - hotnigerianjobs.com --- (0 comments)


UNOCHA is the part of the United Nations Secretariat responsible for bringing together humanitarian actors to ensure a coherent response to emergencies. OCHA also ensures there is a framework within which each actor can contribute to the overall response effort.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: Humanitarian Affairs Analyst


Job ID: 23445
Location: Maiduguri, Borno
Grade: NOA
Vacancy Type: FTA Local
Agency: UNOCHA
Posting Type: External
Contract Duration: 1 Year with possibility for extension

Background
OCHA's mission is to mobilize and coordinate effective and principled humanitarian action in partnership with national and international actors in order to:
  • Alleviate human suffering in disasters and emergencies
  • Advocate for the rights of people in need
  • Promote preparedness and prevention
  • Facilitate sustainable solutions.
In December 1991, the General Assembly adopted Resolution 46/182 designed to strengthen the United Nation's response to both complex emergencies and natural disasters.  In addition, it aimed at improving the overall effectiveness of the UN's humanitarian operations in the field.

OCHA has recently established a Common Humanitarian Fund (CHF) in Nigeria and is recruiting the staff necessary to run the Humanitarian Financing Unit which will act, within OCHA, as the CHF’s Secretariat.  Given the potential for natural disaster and the ongoing country conflict, it is of utmost importance that the current staffing gaps are filled in order to support CHF funding requirements to humanitarian operators in-country. Expectations by stakeholders of the CHF funding in terms of timelines and institutional capacity are high.
